This is probably the biggest non story of the day. Even more so that the Steven Gerrard is cleared of affray story. Ihit him in self defence your honour. Six times in defence though.

A "Minor Fuel Problem". Possibly the most unimpressive Tucano forced landing story since Nouj had to land at Silverstone!

I thought that the USAF always had a warning light when their Reach aircraft were in the vicinity of Leuchars, golf clubs at the ready.

ps: take a note who SG s solicitor was, I heard that he got Stevie Wonder a driving licence.

It'd have to be well serious to do a forced lob into north Jockistan would it not?

Picture the scene. Friday afternoon, wazzing around Moon Country looking to bounce the train, frighten some sheep and avoid all Tonkas.
'Er, you seen the fuel state mate?'
'Oh bu&&er - can we stretch ISK?'
'Nope!'
'Double bu&&er -where's Wick?'

Hope you survived the Harbour Lights bar, boys!
